A time warp takes the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and its captain (Kirk Douglas) back to Pearl Harbor, Dec. 6, 1941. However, if history is inviolate, what will happen to future events if the attack doesn't come off?
One of the better time-travel movies. Generates lots of suspense because it's directed and acted with a great deal of conviction. John Scott's musical score is outstanding.

Something you'd watch on TV for free without complaint.
Great what if sci-fi with a nuclear aircraft carrier, a time warp, and the attack on Pearl Harbor.

As a documentary on the USS Nimitz, The Final Countdown is wonderful. As entertainment, however, it has the feeling of a telepic that strayed onto the big screen.
